Review on 🛠️ Dexter K71-653-00 Suspension Upgrade Kit by Chris Endricko

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great kit, wrong instructions

Absolutely amazing $300 kit but it came with instructions PN 059-203-00 which are instructions for dry bolt axles and so the torque specs for the bolts were 130 -150 feet . pounds, not 30-50 feet. Pounds I discovered this while stripping bolts with a torque wrench set at 150 feet. Pound Seems to be Dexter's fault, not necessarily Revane, for including the wrong instructions in the kit, but either way I'm REALLY not happy that I had to order another $75 kit to fix the wet bolts and replace the bracket connection. Destroyed/overstretched assemblies. Worse still, erailer.com had torque specs in their site's FAQ, but I didn't order the original $300 kit from them because I wanted to get it faster here. and that plan backfired. The guide that was to come, PN 059-867-00. These instructions must also be included on the product page. I gave it no stars simply because the kit is truly amazing and is a huge improvement over the stock suspension hardware that came with my 2018 Grand Design trailer. He only has to correct the torque data sent with him!
